August 10, 2021
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s first major
scientific assessment since 2014, released Monday, shows unequivocally
that global warming is unfolding more quickly than feared and that
humanity is almost entirely to blame.
Here is a rundown of some of its key findings from the IPCC Working
Group 1 report on physical science.
Earth’s average surface temperature is projected to hit 1.5 or 1.6 degrees
Celsius above preindustrial levels around 2030 in all five of the
greenhouse gas emissions scenarios — ranging from highly optimistic
to reckless — considered by the report. That’s a full decade earlier than
the IPCC predicted just three years ago.

October 18, 2019
A joint committee of Non-Governmental Organisations, NGOs and House of Representatives Committee on Human Rights has urged the National Assembly, NASS to recommend adequate compensation and recognition for troops fighting Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East.
The plea was made in Abuja in a report of preliminary findings submitted to the leaderships of NASS after investigation on allegations of human rights abuse made against the Nigerian military by some foreign media organisations.
The committee’s Chairman Isaac Dikko said the committee sacrificed a lot during the investigation because of national security.
He added that if not for the interest of national security, nobody would dare to have a committee secretariat situate in the North-East for direct information given the low media reportage of the military successes in the region especially by foreign media organisations.
The committee while absolving the soldiers of wrong doing said the troops have approached the war on insurgency with international standards on human rights and as such deserved to be compensated to serve as source of motivation and encouragement to others.
